LINE TOWNSHIP. Oct. 1st.

Commencing at the Minnesota river
in the northwest corner of the town OF
Lime, and running east two miles across
the river valley, and apparently ending
abruptly at the eastern bluff is remark
able channel. 1t is about fifty rods wide
and sixty-five feet deep in the solid rock.
About one-third of this depth is now
filled with soil. The north side presents
bold bluff. The south side is consider
ably broken and worn away. On this
side are situated the stone quarries OF
Frank Fowler and Jos. Kuntz, of Man
kato. All the water now carried by this
lateral valley could never have had any
appreciate effect in forming it. With
out doubt it was formed in a former geo.
logical age by the old or pre-glacial Min
nesota river, spoken of by State Gelogist
Winchell. McMullen's quarry, nearer
the city, borders what suppose to be
another of those ancient channels. The
first mentioned gorge Is crossed by the
Omaha and the Northwestern railroad
tracks on wooden trestles. The latter
road has been engaged upon for the last
four months and just finished an arched
culvert, to enable it to replace its trestle
with fill OF earth. This is finely built
and enduring structure. The arch is 80
feet long, with an internal capacity of 16
by 20 feet; 226 car loads, or l, 500 yards
of stone, and / ,O10 bags or so tons of CO.
ment were used in its construction. Its
cost besides excavating and piling, was
$11 500.

PRESS OPINION.

New York Times: Mr.. 0berly's letter
is an evidence added to those already
numerous given by him, that the civil
service commission is actuated by a
strong sense of fidelity to the principle
and purpose of the law and by clear
conception Oft.
Cleveland Leader: The original re-
port of Mr.. Edgerton, whitewashing
Collector Seeberger, and endeavoring
to destroy the efficiency of civil service
reform, was weak and contemplate.
His hypothetical case" was mean in
situation. The friends of Webster bad a
right to be indignant. But ifa Demo
crat wishes dirty act he is never at
loss for dirty reasons.
New York Tribune: Mr.. Cleyeland's
friend and biographer, who kindly Ia
belled Mr.. Morrison's tariff bill "firm
step toward free trade, " 80 that nobody
should mistake its nature, deserves cred
it for making the new York Democratic
platform on the tariff unusually explicit
and clear. Men may differ about the
effect of the reduction Of duty proposed
there is one possible ambiguity as to the
removal of duties on sugar; but in the
main the plan proposed excludes mis-
takes as to Its nature. The administra-
ton platform has the merit of open and
frank hostility to the protection of home
industry.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-The international

IRON THE wANDERER.
Duluth, MIMI, Sept. 20.

Duluth, MIMI. Sept. 20.
You have heard of Duluth, 'the Ze-
NTH city of the unsalted sea-" but TO
hear is not TO see. We have both heard
and seen. We have climbed the highest
peak oil the volcanic eruption of rocks
which constitute the panoramic back
ground of the Zenith city; We have be-
held the shoe string dimensions OF SUI
perior street, and gazed with raptured
vision upon the limitless expanse Of
Lake Superior's glistening, restless boz
som, upon whose broad surface ride
mammoth ships laden with coal and iron
ore; we have ridden upon Tom LoweTy's
street cars from one end of the town to
the other; we have looked with startling
interest at myriad of workmen blasting
mountains of solid stone for a city street,
the payment of which is made by the
assessment plan of $500 lot; We have
measured the huge capacity of their TO-
600, 900 elevator system, and wondered
IN silent contemplation where under
heaven the grain was to fill them. But
with all the various elephants. large and
small, that came under our observation,
there was none of them that came with
in l,0OO-candle horse power electric light
of the average Duluth real estate agent.
Strange as it may seem these men are
not manufactured from experience, but
are born with the primary and sole OBJ
ject of booming Duluth dirt. They are
u do
and brighter than the MONDAY sun.
What they don't know about ways that
are dark and tricks that are vain, no one
ones of the twin cities can learn some
thing from them.
III. p. Jensen, of Mankato, was at the
great seaport this week to sell his famous
make of buggies, but became so absorbed
in gazing at the pyramid of rocks and
the cheek OF the dirt dealers that he for
got his mission. He was nearly inyeigled
into swapping his buggies for town lots,
but inquiring the price of the lots was
blandly informed that this lot was IS, GOO,
that one SIC, 900, and such a lot was So, :
600. Jensen was struck with alarm at
the thought of it requiring dozen OF his
best carriages to buy single lot OF ~
feet front. He concluded that the devil
held a grudge against the first settlers OF
Duluth, and had gwen them stones in
payment.
There is another Mankato man in Du-
luth, though, who they all say caught on
the top wave as it was coming In, and
iudicious investment secured a property
now valued at $4,000 Tor will be after
the assessor comes around next spring.
and his name is Capt. j. K. Randall,
whom the old residents of Mankato Will
remember, but then, while the Capt.
can neither sing or dance, or fiddle away
all day, yet he can make Duluth art
pay, because he is built that way. Jen-
sen will be home soon as he cools of.
